JoCoPETS is a voucher-based program that reduces the cost to get your cats and dogs spayed or neutered. The owner is responsible for the co-payment of $50.00 for cats or dogs with the balance covered through grants and donations. There are no financial or geographical restrictions.
Please note: Due to the high volume of requests and dwindling funds, the spay/neuter program is currently being paused until we can catch up. You are welcome to fill out an application, but we cannot guarantee a timeframe for our response. If you apply, we will put you on our waitlist. We will be back as soon as possible!
